short post, what 3 years of only supercharging my tesla did to the battery: joeybabcock.me/blog/tesla/201…

Takes a few more stops then in 2015 but she still makes the NorCal SoCal drive just fine

@siraustin @levelsio Try going to local guides connect and logging in, that's how I found out I was shadow banned because it won't let me access it anymore :/

@levelsio interesting... I've been shadowbanned for a while... my reviews show up only for me and not for the proprietors or anyone else...

After this post my Google Maps has now also been banned from reviewing places No wonder every place is now a 4.7/5, they all converge to that rating if you just remove all the bad ratings Interestingly, my account has been banned because of my reviews in Dubai from ages ago, I know UAE has strict defamation laws, so I think businesses use that to remove reviews there I don't know why the Google Maps team is allowing this though, a review or rating is not defamation, it's just an opinion, and Google needs that opinion for people to know where to go What Google should be doing I think is defending the people who review and rate places in court wherever they live, because by just allowing any business to remove bad ratings/reviews, they make Google Maps completely non-credible! Long term people will just use other apps to find good places and I don't think you want that @sundarpichai Maybe we need @X Maps with real reviews @elonmusk?

@dwjorgeb @levelsio To be fair I get these still and I am also shadow banned lol

@levelsio Meanwhile me 😂

@wholemars Damn I was literally just thinking how I wished it would auto lower peoples volume when they pull into a charger so I wouldn't have to hear someone's bass through both of our cars louder than my own video

Another beautiful example of Tesla’s vertical integration. Neighbors were complaining about noise and commotion at this new Supercharger in San Francisco. So Tesla pushed a software update that asks people to turn their volume down, with a button to do it in 1 tap. Smart.

@nathanclark_ @OfficialLoganK he's got a point 😔

it’s in gemini, just create it in ai studio. oh, that’s for your personal google one account. for workspace you need gemini business. no, not gemini advanced, that’s ai pro now. unless you need ai ultra. oh agents? you do that in spark actually. no, not gemini api managed agents, that’s different. for coding use jules. unless you mean the agentic ide, that’s antigravity. no, that’s the old antigravity, download the new one. actually gemini cli is being deprecated, use antigravity cli. no the flash model is smarter than the pro model. unless you need pro. if it’s video, use flow. no, flow uses veo. no, nano banana is images. actually that’s in gemini now. unless you’re in search, then it’s ai mode. no, research is notebooklm. anyway it’s all very simple.

@Seanfrank Absolutely despise TTS but I can't deny how powerful of a platform it is

Ask. Anyone will work with you as long as you have a good plan and can deliver GO DO SOME GOOD

@eevblog Yes and it's exactly as it sounds, by far the worst platform to deal with

@joeybab3 There's a TikTok shop?

Someone returned their fuses to Amazon because they weren't delivered in time.

@SiliconSalvage Grok show me more of this content

I told a guy at a barbecue last weekend that I had been buying busted small-cap software stocks at 4x free cash flow, and he looked at me with the specific facial expression of a man who has just realized he is trapped in a conversation with someone who voluntarily reads 10-Ks on vacation. He asked, with great gentleness, if I had considered Nvidia. I said I had considered Nvidia in the way one considers jumping off a bridge: briefly, theoretically, and with a clear understanding of the outcome. I told him I owned a company that sells dental practice management software to 11,000 orthodontists and that the CEO, a 64-year-old man named Greg who has not updated his LinkedIn since 2017, was, in my professional opinion, the single greatest capital allocator alive in North America today, and that I would, if legally permitted, have Greg’s name tattooed on my forearm. He asked if Greg knew this. I said Greg did not know I existed, and that this was the foundation of our relationship and the source of its strength. He excused himself to go check on his children, who, I observed, were not present at the barbecue. I stood by the grill alone for the next 40 minutes, eating directly from a bag of buns, thinking about Greg, who at that exact moment was, somewhere in suburban Indianapolis, almost certainly buying back stock at prices that will, in 2031, be regarded as the single greatest gift any small-cap CEO has ever given his shareholders, and the host’s wife came over and asked, with palpable concern, if I needed a ride home, and I said no, I needed nothing, I had Greg, and Greg was enough, and I have not been invited back to that house, and I do not care, because Greg loves me even though Greg does not know I am alive, and the math, as it has always been in every great deep value trade in history, is the only thing in this country that has not lied to me.

What issues/bugs do you see on x.com? Share with us and I’ll get it fixed.

@shakoistsLog @wilplatypus goalposts are moving again

fucked up i increasingly have friends hitting 9figs who aren’t buying ski chalets and inviting me every year

@djcows Isn't there an extension that does this to websites to reduce the visual appeal/help with computer addiction?

Startup idea: X but without CSS

@NewAgeRetroNerd First ones free dw

Fuck my chud ass life bro, I probably failed my math class this semester

@CtrlAltDwayne @evisdrenova The last model was kind of rough but im giving them a chance again, 2.5 seems to have ironed out a lot of the kinks

@evisdrenova LMAO, what? For a brief moment in time Cursor was lost. They kept updating the UI every month and it was a mess. But Cursor is great now. I know quite a few companies that have Cursor subs over Claude Code or Codex subs. It's actually quite good, especially the new chat view.

The cursor fall-off is going to be studied for decades. I don't know any engineer who uses them anymore. Not to say that others don't, but it's obvious that they're no longer on the tech frontier. Still, a $60b outcome in 4 years is nothing to sneeze at...

@noworkfunction @eigenrobot I'm trying bro I'm trying

@joeybab3 @eigenrobot outrunning the event horizon

AI is not currently good enough to cause me to lose my job but i expect ive got maybe a year to figure out how to move up several abstraction layers some of which may not even exist yet this is going to get weird because idk how people starting careers will even begin

@_imdawon I thought that 2 years ago and 1 year ago and tbh I still feel that but I want to keep the fire under me x.com/i/status/18811…

I feel like there's 18 months to escape the permanent underclass

@agmethod75 @WomanDefiner Probably a state by state thing then, maybe county by county. Some schools in my district that were older had woodshop but that was it, my highschool was new and had no trades :(

@WomanDefiner Stop making shit up. Our schools still have trades programs.

Millennials were the first generation that had the trades stripped out of the schools because their boomer parents wanted to brag about their kids going to college. You know why all Millennials went? Because boomers destroyed every other path coming out of high school. My Highschool had an entire wing of trades classrooms that were empty and shuttered. High schools were turned into a farming system for colleges.

@rinconhilldad I'm in the same boat, needs a reset

Taking money off of the table. Exposure way too high.

you can prompt inject the figma ai layer renamer since they don't allow you to give it a custom prompt lol
